Description
What makes this guitar special: Aside from the tone knob the guitar is all original & along with its matching amp everything is in perfect working condition. Produced for only a short period of time between '62 & '67, Epiphone records indicate that fewer than 400 Professional sets were made, making them rather rare indeed. Professionally inspected & set up by our luthier, so the guitar plays & sounds fantastic. The matching amp has also been inspected & tested by our amp specialist.
Cosmetic Condition: Great shape for its age with typical play wear - various minor nicks & chips; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear on the back of the body. No cracks, breaks or repairs. There is a very small gap between the neck heel & body near the strap button, but the neck is not loose & there is no issues with playability. Overall the guitar has a cool vintage vibe & gorgeous patina.
Neck: Nicely rounded, wide mahogany neck with cream binding & tortoise side-dots. Beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl parallelogram inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition.
Body: Double-bound, semi-hollow maple body with dual F-holes. Frequensator tailpiece & ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles. Nickel hardware. 5-ply black pickguard is in great shape with no cracks. Guitar weighs 8 lbs 8.7 oz.
Pickup / Electronics: Mini humbucker with master volume & tone controls. There are five Tonexpressor switches mounted to the pickguard; on/off switches for the tremolo & reverb; frequency and depth knobs for the tremolo; one knob to control the level of reverb. All electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included. One latch is missing, otherwise the case is in great shape.
